Ourem 88 - Palolem

This is a hidden gem in South Goa. A perfect place for good food connoisseurs and travelers who'd like to add a fine dine experience to their travel. It's run by Brett, from London. There are only 7 tables, so booking a table in advance is necessary. The ambience is simple yet very warm and welcoming. Brett will explain you certain dishes in the menu which needs to be explained. Brett will personally take your order and serve you. The food is by far the best I've had a Goa, in terms of the taste, the quality and quantity. I'm not going to describe every dish that I had. But the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection, the meat was juicy, succulent and again, cooked to perfection. The consistency of the sauce, after cooling down a bit, with the steak was smooth and thick with excellent flavours. I personally don't like to spoil the taste of the main course but the desserts were excellent. Small and cosy but a must visit place in South Goa. Just one thing, this place is CLOSED ON MONDAYS and it's a DINNER ONLY place. Plan accordingly if you don't want to miss dining here. Ourem 88 is a bit expensive but, worth every penny for the entire delightful experience. If your lady love is a food lover, she won't reject your proposal for marriage if you propose her here. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic evening Brett the host was so attentive and the food was spectacular! Highly recommend booking in advance as no less that 15 people were turned away tonight while we were there you won't regret it! The whole baked brie, belly pork and beef fillet were all outstanding and the strawberry daiquiri was the best we've had in India! we'll definitely be back next time we're in Palolem thank you xx

At the end of the day it just looks so ordinary but the food is absolutely to die for, settings,ambience and of course the host pleasant,helpful and service brilliant.highly recommend if in Palolem

How can this only get 4.8 out of 5. Nobody has given it less than 5. It well deserves the 5 points it is without doubt the best restaurant within 30 miles.

Great food and amazing service from Brett and Jodie, who opened the place a few years ago. A small and friendly place tucked away behind the main beach restaurants, serving a wonderful selection of European fusion food, all freshly prepared by Jodie. A must, but book well in advance to avoid disappointment. A
